How you can contribute to the ITNAC community today and in coming months
The Association is working to get a new Journal included in Scopus. To achieve this outcome we could do with your help. If you can spare a day, write a 4 page single column paper and submit the paper to the International Journal of Information, Communication Technology and Applications. We'll process your paper quickly and publish the paper. All papers are indexed with ORCID. The Journal is open access, so you can immediately submit the paper to ResearchGate to attract citations.
We would like to get IJICTA included in Scopus asap, so that we have a Journal to compliment ITNAC and to provide a location for extended papers to be published.
If you would like to become an editor of the Journal and to help attract papers, contact the committee today.
We're committed to providing a high quality peer reviewed Journal that will enhance the Association's offering to our community.
Call for Papers
As is our practice the Call for Papers will be available at the ITNAC website, which is currently undergoing the annual update and you can submit your paper through EDAS.info.
Volunteers
On behalf of the committee and our volunteer marketing chairs Dr Nazmus Nafi and Dr Kashinath Basu we will look forward to providing you with information throughout the year, and to respond to your feedback. If you would like to get involved and volunteer for one of the committee roles, email the committee.
Stay safe
We anticipate a great conference in 2024 at UNSW in Sydney, Australia. We wish our community a safe year and we look forward to seeing as many of our community as possible at the conference this year.
On behalf of the committee, we would like to wish you all well at this difficult time.
